Charlotte North Carolina Drug Crime Lawyers

In many ways, the strength of a drug crime case rests not on the evidence involved but on the actions and decisions of police and investigators. Whether police had a right to stop and search your car, enter your home, or seize property will determine what evidence is allowed at trial and whether the charges against you should be dropped. At the law office of Barnett & Falls, our attorneys work with private investigators in interviewing witnesses, reviewing dashboard video tape footage, and investigating the history of arresting officers and narcotics detectives. Our office doesn’t simply look at the events that transpired surrounding your arrest but looks at the assumptions and actions that led police and investigators to do what they did. Especially when informants are involved, our drug crime lawyers expose the compromising nature of a plea bargain and untrustworthiness of informant testimony.

We’re prepared to fight the charges against you by identifying police misconduct and questionable constitutional practices on the part of investigators. To schedule a free, confidential consultation to discuss your case, contact Barnett & Falls today.

Property Seizure and Drug Crime Charges

Often, the government can seize any property or assets it thinks the accused acquired through illegal drug activity. Since asset seizures and asset forfeitures are typically separate legal actions by the North Carolina Department of Revenue or the IRS, the government can seize your property even before you have been convicted of a drug crime and even if you are acquitted of all charges. At Barnett & Falls, our attorneys can immediately challenge the government's case, consulting accountants and financial experts if necessary to counter the government’s and Internal Revenue Service’s allegations.

Aggressive Litigators, Effective Negotiators

While our attorneys are prepared to aggressively defend you, we also understand how the criminal court system works. When a plea bargain makes the most sense for our client, we work with prosecutors in order to reduce the charges or sentence against our client. Helping you avoid a worst case scenario, we believe everyone deserves a second chance.
